Do you remember when Jake Ryan shows up and waves to Samantha? How she turned to look and verify he meant her, and he whispers “yeah you.” I’m ready to share a recent moment that felt like this.
(ps – if you don’t know Jake Ryan, RUN and rent 16 candles. Or come over. We can [...]

Studio Calico has some peeks of my kit class up right now with their new kit Yearbook. http://studiocalico.blogspot.com/
Also, you so didn’t see this.
It’s not a peek from the final bonus handout in the final week of class. Nope. You didn’t see it here. Now I’m back to finishing up that handout. Yep – in the [...]

Dear American Crafts,
I remember being a Scrapbook Store manager and meeting a nice guy from A.C. who’d call on the store now and then. He gave me my first fine tip black slick writer, suggesting I just try it, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
The black fine tip Slick Writer remains my #1 favorite tool. It [...]
new discovery: smooch
Posted in my craft life on September 29, 2009 | 8 Comments »
Have you heard of smooch? It reminds me of my liquid eye liner.
It’s ink (with pearly/metallic finish) in a bottle great for accenting stuff (like corrugated letters in pic). It’s very new to me – but based on performance of this bottle of molasses I’m ordering more from www.scrapbook.com as soon as possible.
If you’ve worked [...]

MB = message board
Once upon a time I was very active on several message boards. I began quite a few friendships via MB’s and I’ll always be grateful for that. One by one I disappeared from posting on boards. Between two kids, work, and life stuff I just didn’t make time to surf them like I used to. My [...]
Apples & Chocolate “scrummy yummy” cake
Posted in food on September 29, 2009 | 8 Comments »
note: When something is really good, E calls it scrummy yummy. We like to use it now too.
I’m on a great quest. The quest for greatest blondie recipe. (like a brownie, but pale and not full ‘o cocoa powder) that I can tweak final ingredients to make a lot of variations. I expect it’ll take [...]

There are mysteries, treasure hunts, and secrets galore here in my batcave. I have been so slammed I’ve been unable to properly write the proposal part deux, but it’s in progress. So today first up – I did a whole post on this book last week. It posted, I saw it. But… it’s GONE. What???
Here’s [...]

enabler alert…
Posted in sewing on September 24, 2009 | 8 Comments »
I have to share – you must be enabled if this is your sort of thing. I know it’s mine. It’s no secret that I love Heather Bailey’s stuff. When I saw she was selling GOOD felt, I nearly cried.
I don’t do felt projects much because the craft store stuff… well it doesnt’ hold up [...]
